Havent got a cab but the reg keys are:
\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeLSKPath (path to the executable)
HomeLSKText (Text of the Button)

what's the executable though? I'll have a dig about and see what I can break!!

no idea tbh.
i just ran all people and looked at the processes running on my device and it doesnt show up as a seperate entity... makes me think this might not be possible?!!?!
let me know if you manage to crack it.
Incidently... i set my manila LSK to launch the camera app as "all people" can be accessed when you hit the phone dialer with left hard key.

Try this for the path...
Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page

Last thing, I guess I can just use a mobile reg editor to do all this and then a soft reset?

Yes mate. I plump for CeRegEditor as you can do it on your PC via ActiveSync, but obviously any reg editor will do.

I like IBE registry editor for winmo as a pure standard registry editor.
But i have started using dotfreds task manager for reg edits as it has so much capability. Not just a reg editor but a task manager (the best imo), plus endless amounts of other stuff.
BTW @JohnC... did you try that path yourself? does it work etc? where did you get that info from?

Completely OT (and I slate people for that normally) - I've got dotfred's task manager on my storage card, but never actually used it. I didn't realise it did reg editing too. Is it finger friendly (I use Total Commander, so most things are finger friendly in comparison!)
Edit:
I've got a Dutty ROM on my phone and it adds the "All People" link as standard. I just got that value out of the registry. Would love a list of all the Manila:// commands available!

Awesome!
Slowly getting my head around WinMo and its foibles - just need to spend some time in a kitchen and I might start making my own ROMs to my taste...we'll see though as the missus hates I play with it enough as it is!!!
I was using Dutty's ROM but the V.06 had the gash outlines on the buttons so went back to stock 1.66...might try v.07 though

Thats what i was hoping you'd link me too! lol
DotFreds is excellent... its not that finger firendly but i forgive that as it is so powerful. Its shows me more about my winmo device then task manager does on desktop windows.
I have it assigned to long press send key which is extremely handy. Once you start it... click on the drop down menu (top right of the interface) and scroll through all of its options.... a truly epic program imo.

You can just delete it mate. Delete the CoPilot folder in program files, delete the shortcut, delete the folder on the storage card and it's gone!

yeah but if I hard reset it its back - would just be easier to get a ROM with just that reg edit and CoPilot gone and I'd acutually be happy for now!

It's a 6.5 version, not a 6.5.3, so no silly buttons on the menu bar.

I am running wisbar advanced, and I have a great vista theme that I would be happy to upload, or I can try and find where I originally found it. doesn't take up too many resources, and it has a _ton_ of customization

I have one that I'm using that doesn't require installing another app that hogs up memory. This is a simple Vista "aero" type theme and a nice dialer to match. I'm using them now and I like 'em. I think I might have even gotten them from the forum, or maybe not. Anyhow, enjoy!
do you have screen shots? What is the tsk file and how do we use it?
Thanks!

Sorry, no screen shots handy right now, but all you have to do with the .tsk file is copy it to your \Windows directory. Then, go ahead and change your theme like you normally would. (Start --> Settings --> Today)

I see from your Avatar that your sporting the new Hermes headset. It's nice 'cos it doesn't require the Bluetooth connection - you just tuck the Hermes inside next to your ear and away you go; and with Wifi on it keeps your ear warm as well. I've heard a rumour that there's a dual core Hermes with twin hand-sets that keeps both ears warm. Bit itchy though??

Oh yes. You hit the nail on the head there. It's almost a full body headset, as you can see. Quite cozy in the winter... and very stylish to boot.

Not sure what the problem is, Zgembo was able to get it extracted and working. Are you just extracting the whole folder onto your desktop (or somewhere) and then moving it over to the phone?
Exactly, simple as cake... Just copy two file to any folder of your phone, and run it... Dialer (bigger .cab file) is just an option, instals as standard application... Skin (.tsk file) is very compact, and just double click it to add it to phone's themes... You can delete these files after installation...
does anyone know any drawback to the ETEN dialer besides losing video call as an option?

on this one you also loose smart dial... but its a kick a$$ looking dialer skin
Maybe someone with some skills (definitely not me) can put the smart dial and video option into this dialer skin. I think this was originally created for the 8125. Shogunmark... I know you're a pro. Whatcha think?

i can build wizard roms and cabs, etc.. but when it comes to *.tsk and dialer skins, i will admit defeat.. i have tried at those and failed so many times.. its not that i couldnt create them, its that they looked horrible.. i am seriously lacking in artistic skills.. i might look into anyway since i am dying to start cooking roms but the bootloaders on these phones right now is a major roadblock.. we will see what time has in store for me
Excellent phone skin! I love it!
i found the site where the nice dialer was from:
http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm
he appears to have E-TEN dialers with Smartdial (scroll down to the bottom round classic) It states the "Blackglass" has smartdial. Anyone try that out on a TyTN?
Anyone know how to fix the AeroMobile.tsk theme to support the Portrait mode? When I slide out my keyboard, the skin should strech but doesn't. I tried to fix it with MS Theme Generator, but no luck... Any suggestions? I'm using Pocket PC 2002 Theme Generator V2, as that seems to be the last release from MS.

i agree... it would be nice if the period (".") is on the first page. still a great little app!
I also like this program but also have the same reservations as others. I was also looking around on the XDA forums and found this one about the program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321712&page=40 does anyone here find that it drains battery or memory from your Trinity?
I also used Slueth's SIPChange program. Now, how do I remove it?
Slueth says to remove it "just remove sipchange.exe from /windows and sipchange.lnk from /windows/startup and /windows/start menu/programs"
I don't have sipchange.exe in /windows I do have a folder in /My Device/Program Files do I delete that and sipchange.lnk from /windows/startup and /windows/start menu/programs? And would that remove it? I like to have my machine running fairly clean so would want to remove all of the program!
Any help would be appreciated

HTC Mapping recent calls to a Soft Key??

I have the Softkey program already.... and I am guessing that the recent calls are part of the phone program and that there probably isn't a separate exe for it... but if anyone knows how to pull up the call list I would really appreciate it. Everyone ignores me on here and I know it's the cool thing to do but you could be an awesome trend setter by throwing me a bone!
=)
Try this. It's work for me.
Thanks dude... really appreciate it... trying to figure out how to make it show up as an option in Softkey... tried putting it in program files, didn't work... so now trying the Windows dir.
Nevermind, used a diff. soft key app that allows you to choose program path... works like a charm, I am in your debt!

- Download the CallHistory.zip from Post number two
- Extraxt the CallHistory.exe anywhere to your pda (memory or storagecard)
- Now search for Remap Softkeys on google and install the cab file on your pda
- When installed open it and change the path of the left softkey with the CallHistory.exe
I tried 5 different callhistory.exe and this is the first one that actually brought up the history and not the dialer. Thanks!

My attempts at some ActionScreen graphics

Version 2. I wanted to make it look a little less "busy" so I gave it more of a see-through effect and each button is very slightly different, fitting in with a complete screen image, if you see what I mean.
Also matched the ROM colour better.
B/W version added as an alternative
Unzip files and copy to /Windows using TotalCommander or something similar.
As usual, every button you press on your PDA is at your own risk ;-)
Hope you like them

I like what you have done so I did as instructed... now how to I get it? Sorry for the obviously not smart question but I've been up since 7am yesterday and it's now 915am... yes time for bed! My brain isn't working!
have you already installed HTC ActionScreen?

Do that first, otherwise you don't actually have the application ;-)
Very nice - I like them!

Hey DaVince - where did you get those HTC Home icons from? They look great!
which launcher is that below the htc home plugin? I'm currently using claunch, but that one looks good.
Plugins shown in order:
1. HTC Home
2. Quick Launcher
3. Windows Mobile 6.1 Getting Started
4. Device Owner
It's the WM 6.1 ROM for the Touch Dual by tom_codon. Once officially released, I'm sure somebody will extract them and post it here.
Good Work....
Tks for sharing!!!
Thanks for sharing
U the man. I copied all AS files excepts for the AS_Bkgd_1.brn file and found a very nice result. Your new graphic on top of the old one. Very nice. Tried it.
Thanks again.
what am I doing wrong? I installed the app, copied files to windows and still showing the old skin.
Black?

Please, it is possible to create black version of this awesome graphics? I am lame for this graphical stuff
I'll see if I have time
See first post for b/w version
also.. anyone have a better icon for Action Screen app?
The default is only that boring white square
To replace the icon
I think you have to use a Resource Editor.
Correct me if I'm wrong somebody?

I was wondering this exact thing the other day!
edit the .lnk file to have this:
48#"\Windows\HTCActionScreen.exe"?<Path of icon or DLL>,<index of that icon>
Go to http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5154243&messageID=9583160 for more details. They talk about it in the last 2 or 3 posts.
@davehutch - I love the Action Screen graphic. I'm using it and pumped!
Nice graphics. Thanks a lot

Name under Program in Program tab

Hello!
Is there any standalone cab or reg fix so you can have the name of the program under the icon in the Program tab?
EDIT: and when you go into Program from the start menu, can you move the icons in there to a specific map so you can get the program view a little more organized?
You can move all the programs around and rename the files by using total commander or resco file explorer.
I have done this to organise the folder into many sub-folders.
Thank you Dave!
Now for the name under program tabs, couple of cooked roms that have the feature in them so there should be a easy way like a cab or a reg-hack

Sorry - I meant the program view in the START menu not the TAB (you had both).
I don't now use the program TAB in TF3D as I have all the programs organised in sub-folders under windows\programs and windows\office mobile.
I use that with quick menu and it's so much faster for my many apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3117017&highlight=secondtoday#post3117017 - it's grown since then !!)

Yeah, I realized that you mean't the ones that you access by the start menu and got it fixed, just need the solution for my main issue. Will try yours though, but if anyone know how to fix the names please tell anyway!
